These lamps are exquisite!  I am so happy that they come as a pair. The lamps reflect a soft ambient light when aimed at the wall. The lights are dim-able and easy to adjust with the floor button. I am an artist and I ordered these to get the right kind of light without glare or making overhead shadows. These function like flattering photo studio fill lighting. They look terrific, very elegant and minimal. I am going to be ordering more now for home as well as working studio. I want another pair to put on the shelf that begins my library of books. Thank you Wayfair for a real win with these.
